Brachiosaurus vs Tiger
Pretend they meet in forest. Dinosaurs lived long ago. Look at the facts. Then you pick.
Would they meet?
No. Brachiosaurus and Tiger did not live at the same time. This meeting is pretend.
This is pretend and based on facts. Real animals usually hide or leave.
Read the facts. Make your card. The page waits to pick.

HOME
They meet in forest. Who is built for this place?

Brachiosaurus
Plants · Does not hunt.
High browse: conifers and other tall plants.
Tiger

Brachiosaurus!
A STOMP · UNDERDOG
You skipped a final pick. The facts still stamp a champ.
On forest, Brachiosaurus wins. Brachiosaurus is a lot heavier. Tiger would still win some meetings at home.
In the wild, most animals skip a fight. We still judge who the bodies and the place would favor.
Science card: Brachiosaurus 1 · Tiger 5 · ties 2.
Your card: Brachiosaurus 0 · Tiger 0.
The last page follows the whole animal — body plus home — not one bar chart.
